Injury Updates

[give it to gordon]

Its f**king obvious that the players are playing to much. Most teams are suffering from a higher than average injury list.
The players arent having enough time to recover after matches.

When playing away do the players have use of what would be normally available to them or is it restricted due to covid19 ?

I never thought I would say this but I think the way the players are being treated is a disgrace.

Pep has tried to help the players with a change of style which some are saying is slow and boring. City v liverpool at the weekend both teams in the second half looked knackered.

Football bodies are threatening to burn out/injure players and us fans are being offered basically training matches to watch all for tv money.

Why the hell are we having meaningless friendly internationals and this stupid international tournament thing.

Says hamstring “strain” rather than pulled so perhaps just one of those 2-3 week jobs

A strain is longer healing time, unfortunately.

The first of many, I reckon two or three more injuries before Spurs. Pep will be fuming as we all are with these fucking pointless matches

Never knew there was a distinction. Every day is a school day on here

International football should have been scrapped this year. They should have given players a weeks rest instead so they can deal with the relentless schedule.

Gutted for Ake. He's started really well for us.

We are in a national lockdown where non essential travel is banned yet pointless football is still allowed where people travel hundreds of miles potentially spreading or contacting the disease
It’s fkn nuts but football has its own reality which unfortunately isn’t the one that the rest of deal with

No wonder the elite clubs want more power.

Wtf are we doing with our players? He barely had an injury record for years playing for Bournemouth. He’s been ours for two month and already have two injuries. He barely played for us ffs.

he was NOT playing for us today ffs

Yep, depending on grade though of course.
3 being the highest/longest healing time...
Let’s hope it’s not that.

The fact that they’re arranging friendlies is even more ridiculous

Or that england chose to panic arrange one with ROI when NZ backed out rather than just taking it as a few extra days training/rest

De Bruyne is not playing for Belgium. Is he injured or rested or what? Picked up a knock vs Liverpool but played on. Hope he's OK

It's a friendly, playing mostly second string team.
